OF the soldier boys filed up to the
chaplain's tent with such stereotyped
inquiries as these:
Amy mail yet, chaplain ?"
Have you heard from the mail?"
"Do you know when the mails will
Gomez"
What do you think is delaying The
mails 20
The good man was so pestered with
inquiries that he had no time to pre-
pare his weekly sermon. 1t occurred
to him that he might put an end to
their troubles by sign. Procuring
the bottom of an old bareback box he
marked it with charcoal and nailed it
on g tree in front OF his tent so that
all might see this notice:
THE CHAPLAIN DOES NOT KNOW WHEN
THE MAIL WILL ARRIVE.
The next anxious inq uirer who
came along was q reckless young wag.
lie gazed for a while at the notice, and
discovering the piece of charcoal which
the chaplain had dropped on the
ground at the completion of the sign,
he seized it and added these words:
AND HE DON'T CARE On.
The chaplain took in the sign and
never put out another one.

fusion and hum he fed to the rest Of
the farm. The scent o. the clover
with JOY he inhales, he leaps DER the
fence and he shrieks as on silvery rails
he his person impales and fractures
the dome Of his breeks. The sound of
the supper bell makes his heart glad,
for his hunger is wolfsh and keen, but
the milk has been SKINNED and the
bread it is sad, and the berries are
not to be seen. He sleeps in bed
that is inhabited and the mattress is
lined with old hay; so forgetting his
prayers, he grumbles and swears. and
fights till the dawn of the day. He is
called to arise with the lark, and be
HES to battle in the trough at the we'll;
when twelve hired men are through
with it then the towel is his for a spell.
His additions are done, he goes for g.
run through the meadows so verdant
and trim, when the bull comes along
with his baritone song, and that set
ties the meadows for him. With pleas
ure he sees the Industrious bees and
finds them quite harmless to be;
but he finds it warm when he happens
to swarm some hornets that live in
tree. He goes every place till he poi
sons his face with the leaves of the
rhus toxicodendron, and he looks like
man who is under the ban, for hav-
ing been out big bender on. He
helps to make hay, but he gets in the
way, and gets plowed down the back
with q rake; then he goes to the brook,
for pond lilies to look, and bites him
self twice with q snake. In sorrow he
cries, with tears in his eyes, "I'n the
wretchedest man among men; if my
life can hold on till this summer is
gone, I'll never leave Brooklyn again."
